Is anyone even buying pixels anymore

This statement from the article says it all:

“Today, things are changing. And the Pixel 8 Pro is the most iPhone-like Android phone ever.”

The most iPhone-like? Why would I give up the real thing for one that’s not quite the real thing?

Imo as long as google keeps using repurposed samsung exynos modems they won't be taken seriously by any iphone user. I was a pixel 7 owner and got tired of its modem performance. It’s fine if you have good cellphone service but the moment you get into an area with less than the best coverage your cellphone connectivity takes a big hit. Ended up trading my pixel in for a galaxy s23 ultra. I actually have the best of both worlds because I also own a 13 pro max, the best iphone apple has made so far in my opinion. It's really nice to be able to just switch out my sim card and enjoy the best of both operating systems. Which is probably the real reason why apple decided to remove the sim card from every iphone since the 13. Anyway, back to those crappy exynos modems, not even samsung uses them anymore yet google insist on sticking them in their phones while both apple and samsung have moved on to superior snapdragons. And it's a shame too because I really enjoyed the pixel 7. I loved the call screening, the camera, and using other pixel exclusive features. Nonetheless, until Google ditches those modems I won't be going back to the pixel line again.

That’s the question. And the answer is you wouldn’t .

Psychologically speaking the more android copies Apple the more they alienate what remains of their premium fanbase.

Sooner or later those premium android users will switch to an iPhone as well due to a lack of differentiation, as you put it:

”Why would I give up the real thing for one That’s not quite the real thing”


Samsung shill that never had an iPhone

A lot of Samsung employees already switched to a. iPhone:

Samsung and pixel superfan that used to hate iPhones

This guy never has an iPhone, he just switched.

You get live voicemail in iOS 17, it’s better than googles call screening.

It’s not just the modems that are crappy but also the Samsung made exynos “tensor” soc, complete garbage. Probably why flagship pixel sales are quite bad.

iPhone 15 pro max is making the pixel photo look dull and lifeless. Apple just crushed the only thing going for pixels
